LGBTIQ+ Community Sport and Wellbeing

Community, Health, Mental Health, Sport, Thorne Harbour Health (VAC)

We speak with long time members of LGBTIQ+ community sport clubs in Melbourne and Adelaide about the mental and physical benefits they’ve seen being part of inclusive teams, including:

Lynda from Melbourne Frontrunners, Ben from Melbourne Surge, and Cam from Melbourne Wranglers.

We also hear from Peter from Pride Tennis Adelaide, Russell from Adelaide Sharks, and Peter from Adelaide Spikers.

Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health & wellbeing.

If there’s something you’d like us to explore on the show, send through ideas or questions at wellwellwell@joy.org.au

Find out more about LGBTIQ+ services and events in Victoria at Thorne Harbour Health and in South Australia at SAMESH.
